Recital photos continuing

So, I am almost done posting the recital photos. I still have a few more from Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I couldn't figure out how to include this info in the appropriate gallery, so I'll post it here. Net proceeds from purchases from the 'Finale and Gowns' gallery from the June recital will be donated to the Studio's scholarship fund.

I've just a little sample of the beautiful and talented girls. They are truly remarkable and I really enjoy watching and photographing them.

Twin girls and a younger brother

They are very cute kids who don't like to sit still! It was fun hearing some funny stories from their mom to keep them in the mood for photos.

I thought there outfits were adorable, especially the girls' hair bows. If you like cool bows and other hair accessories, check out the business their mom and her sister have http://www.trendytresses.com/.

Happy Birthday and lots going on!

This past weekend, my baby turned 8 and I still can't believe how fast he is growing. One of my 'jokes' to get a good smile from him (he has the fake smile down pat) is to tell him to 'stop growing'. The first two photos are from his birthday weekend and him showing off his new bike. Also, I included him at a baseball game this season getting a base hit and him pretending to be a phillies player! We had some excitement for his birthday dinner as the power went off just as the food was going on the table.

Ballet photos are still being posted - lots still to come! Also I have more portrait photos to share.

I have posted my portrait session price lists on my website (www.loriejohnson.com) under details. I am booking sessions for July and August.

Extended Family on a hot day!

I think I fared pretty poorly by the end of this shoot as my hair was a disaster and I was pretty sweaty. The families did much better and the kids managed some smiles through the heat. I have some really nice shots of all the kids, but had to single out the little red-head, his hair color is incredible!

Note for my ballet clients: I am starting to upload photos from the weekend's performances by dance and will be doing so for a while as I have a lot of photos! The girls were all beautiful and the new dances were terrific!

brother and sister at the park

They were happy to have some time to play at the park, but we did get some photos in as well! They were good sports as there were many distractions, but they gave me some great smiles.

twins

These girls were a lot of fun - in between lots of smiles, a little mud, a few yawns and great poses - my job was easy! Their performance is soon - I'm sure they will be terrific!

dress rehearsal - the little ones!

It's that time and I am really looking forward to taking photos at the performances this year. The youngest girls are just adorable!
